Golden Oriole Katana (金色鴬刀)
It has been said that in simplicity lies great beauty, an axiom
stunningly validated by the Golden Oriole Katana. The story told by the stunning
tsuba is of a mantis stealthily stalking the cricket, unaware that he is himself
being stalked by the Golden Oriole. The deeply lacquered blue of the saya is
repeated in the Japanese cotton tsuka-ito, and the Oriole appears again on the
kashira. Unmistakably Hanwei quality, the 14" tsuka of the katana gives a superb
balance to the sword, allowing it to move very quickly and very freely. Supplied
with a protective cloth bag and traditional maintenance kit.
